I just want to watch my team play a good competitive baseball game. And that’s going to happen tonight
Does anyone else realize that Trevor Story just isnt a very good ballplayer outside of the friendly confines of Coors?!
This *should* be an easy win, facing one of the worst starters in MLB this season. Although I’d be terrified if someone could find out what the 2023 Red Sox’s record is in games that should be a win.
(And Jordan Lyles is 3-1 since starting off the season 0-11. Might not even get close to 20 losses this season)
